  • Publication number: 20170067011
    Abstract: A method for artificial cultivation of Ophiocordyceps sinensis fruiting bodies. The method comprises: inoculating Ophiocordyceps sinensis into a sterile rice medium, cultivating at 9-13° C. for 40-60 days, after the medium is covered with mycelia, performing low-temperature induction at 1-8° C. for 60-80 days to develop a fruiting body primordium, and transferring the cultivation to 11-16° C. till harvest of the fruiting bodies. The method provided by the present invention requires no low-oxygen environment, which can reduce cultivation cost; it only needs 3-4 months from induction to harvest of fruiting bodies; the rice medium for use has a low cost, which is suitable for commercial cultivation of Ophiocordyceps sinensis fruiting bodies.

  • Publication number: 20160345554
    Abstract: An artificial feeding method at low altitude for a host insect ghost moth of Ophiocordyceps sinensis. This method mainly includes: selecting an appropriate disinfectant for performing surface disinfection on ghost moth eggs, and then placing the disinfected eggs in sterile humus; feeding ghost moth larvae with carrots, disinfecting and detecting the fed carrots, and culturing the larvae till male and female pupae are obtained; identifying male and female pupae of the ghost moths, placing them at different culture temperatures, wherein the culture temperature for the male pupae is 2-6° C.

  • Publication number: 20160195517
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a rapid diagnosis method of citrus huanglongbing. In the present invention, the accuracy of diagnosis of citrus huanglongbing is significantly improved in the following manners: eliminating the interference of residual starch by effectively removing the residual starch contained in the leaf; eliminating the interference of chlorophyll by effectively removing chlorophyll; and directly developing the color on the leaf rather than mixing and grinding the leaf in water, so as to avoid the problem that the accuracy of color development reaction conducted by mixing the leaf with water is liable to be interfered since the starch is insoluble in water. Therefore a rapid diagnosis of the citrus huanglongbing with much higher accuracy is achieved, which provides effective detection means for the control of the citrus huanglongbing and is beneficial for the control of the citrus huanglongbing.

  • Publication number: 20140216350
    Abstract: The invention discloses an artificial pairing and breeding method of Platysternon megacephalum. The method comprises the selection of species sources, domestication before pairing, setting of a breeding pond, artificial pairing, collection and hatching of turtle eggs. The method fully considers the ecological and biological characteristics of the Platysternon megacephalum, including the behavior, feeding habit, habitat, and breeding ecology. The main problems in artificial pairing and captive breeding of the Platysternon megacephalum can be effectively solved, including the breeding turtle selection, pairing, pairing stage selection, sex ratio, density, artificial food, setting of the reproduction and hatching environments, the occurrence of disabilities and fatal events during the pairing and mating process is significantly reduced; the egg laying rate of female turtles and the hatching rate of turtle eggs are both significantly improved.
